Procedure

To a degassed solution of 4-[(4-bromophenyl)(cycloheptylidene)methyl]phenol (9) (0.20 g, 0.56 mmol) in DMF (5 mL) were added Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 (40 mg, 0.06 mmol), CuI (11 mg, 0.06 mmol), N,N-diisopropylethylamine (0.45 mL, 2.52 mmol) and 4-pentyn-1-ol (0.11 mL, 1.12 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 80° C. overnight, poured into saturated aqueous NH4Cl (15 mL) and water (5 mL), extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL). The combined organic phase was washed with water, brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated to give the crude product as brown oil. The crude product was purified by chromatography on a silica gel column eluted with a gradient from hexanes to 45% EtOAc in hexanes to give a light brown solid. The solid was triturated with hot hexanes containing 1% MeOH to afford 91 mg (45%) of the title compound (240) as beige solid. mp 125-126° C. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 1.49 (bs, 8H), 1.60-1.70 (m, 2H), 2.10-2.25 (m, 4H), 2.41 (t, J=7.0 Hz, 2H), 3.40-3.50 (m, 2H), 4.49 (t, J=5.2 Hz, 1H), 6.65 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 2H), 6.88 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 2H), 7.04 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 2H), 7.26 (d, J=8.2 Hz, 2H), 9.27 (s, 1H). LCMS (ESI): m/z 361 (M+H)+, 359 (M−H)−.
